(08:06:10 PM) cprofitt: The Rochester event was not a meet up (as per how Ubuntu LoCo looks at things). It was an event. The topic was on the Future of business and Open Source. Barnaby Bienkowski presented the reasons Open Source will help you run faster than the fastest lion. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NewYorkTeam/Events/20090205 - the topic was a bit broad for some and it was expressed to me in email that some people would like to see more specific implementati
(08:06:10 PM) cprofitt: ons.
(08:06:12 PM) slick666: I think it was a big help to get cprofitt out there to talk to the tree members that showed up

(08:11:14 PM) Dave123-road: hal14450, i think i'll be goot

(08:11:16 PM) Dave123-road: good
(08:11:29 PM) slick666: as far as I can see it doesn't look like we will be having an in person here in Syracuse
(08:11:42 PM) hal14450: lugging stuff around isn't beneath me so at the very least i'll help you with that
(08:11:44 PM) slick666: unfortunately
(08:11:50 PM) Dave123-road: i got a few extra tuner cards from circuit city and I'm going to set up a test db for the lappy
(08:11:50 PM) cprofitt: slick666, will you guys be joining us on IRC for the in-person at B&N in Rochester?
(08:11:57 PM) cprofitt: we can always get your guys to IRC in
(08:12:03 PM) Dave123-road: so i dont have to lug the backend :-)
(08:12:03 PM) slick666: Myself and marnold should be in attendance
(08:12:13 PM) cprofitt: slick666, outstanding
(08:12:13 PM) hal14450: hi slick666 btw ;-)
(08:12:32 PM) slick666: hey hal14450
(08:12:34 PM) cprofitt: we need power strips and a few extension cords for the in-person event if anyone can bring them
(08:12:48 PM) hal14450: we can use asterisk if anyone cares to
(08:12:58 PM) cprofitt: It would be good to get that setup hal14450
(08:12:59 PM) slick666: I don't think it is worth it if we can't get 3 or more togeather
(08:13:05 PM) hal14450: i can bring a couple i think
(08:13:46 PM) hal14450: cprofitt, it's already setup for the most part but i'd prefer people use a softphone instead of the 800 as that costs me money
(08:13:51 PM) cprofitt: slick666, at Morrisville likely not... but it could bring people over to ask what is going on
(08:13:59 PM) cprofitt: like that lady at the meetup in the LP Library
(08:14:12 PM) cprofitt: hal14450, yeah... we can Ekiga
(08:14:16 PM) slick666: I see what you mean
(08:14:31 PM) ausimage: hal14450: slick666 needs an account I believe ;)
(08:14:39 PM) cprofitt: slick666, you have to have meetings for people to come... you can't wait for people to show up without meetings
(08:14:47 PM) cprofitt: its a horse and cart type of question
(08:14:55 PM) cprofitt: or chicken and egg type thing
(08:15:02 PM) hal14450: slick666, pm me with a password and an email for an asterisk account and i'll set it up later
(08:15:13 PM) slick666: I see your point
(08:15:19 PM) deejoe: you have to be very "all the cool kids are going to be there"
(08:15:26 PM) deejoe: that's how we roped cprofitt in ;-)
(08:15:28 PM) cprofitt: ausimage, you want me to go out over the next few months as well -- as far as what is planned or just hold to next month?
(08:15:34 PM) hal14450: lol @ deejoe
(08:15:35 PM) slick666: let me pm marnold and see whats what
(08:15:39 PM) ausimage: next month

(08:16:05 PM) ausimage: no need swamping us
(08:16:09 PM) cprofitt: Next month we have Dave123 doing MythTV on the 5th of March and we will be present at Ed Tech Day on March 26th

(08:16:54 PM) deejoe: sweet
(08:17:03 PM) cprofitt: I might even do the presentation as they do not have one done yet
(08:17:10 PM) cprofitt: I need to start working on that ASAP...
(08:17:23 PM) cprofitt: if anyone is interested in going down to Ithaca please let me know ASAP
(08:17:29 PM) cprofitt: so we can draw up plans
(08:17:39 PM) cprofitt: I also have a B type conference pack set for Ithaca
(08:17:51 PM) Dave123: cprofitt, I will get you my presentation (or the slides at least) in the next week or so
(08:18:03 PM) cprofitt: We ofcourse have the RCSI Linux SIG and LUGOR next month as well
(08:18:24 PM) cprofitt: LUGOR's topic will be on file system choice and optimization

(08:18:49 PM) cprofitt: That covers the rest of this month and march for the events I know about

(08:19:26 PM) cprofitt: anyone else have events before I do that?
(08:19:57 PM) cprofitt: ok...
(08:20:01 PM) cprofitt: moving along...
(08:20:17 PM) cprofitt: I signed up the LoCo for participation in the User Group program with Oreilly press
(08:20:31 PM) cprofitt: We can get books for events (door prizes) or for doing reviews
(08:20:42 PM) ***deejoe has noticed that the discount code is the same for all user groups
(08:20:54 PM) cprofitt: We also get discounts when ordering direct from them and discounts on the training courses
(08:20:57 PM) cprofitt: deejoe, it is
(08:21:07 PM) cprofitt: they can also help us get speakers...
(08:21:15 PM) slick666: cprofitt if you need another body for Ithaca I think I might be able to go
(08:21:21 PM) slick666: I'm not too far out of the area
(08:21:21 PM) cprofitt: I sent in a list of topics we are interested in, but have not heard from any authors yet
(08:21:35 PM) cprofitt: slick666, cool... pass it along to the SYRLUG guys too
(08:21:40 PM) deejoe: still, that's promising, cprofitt
(08:21:41 PM) slick666: will do
(08:21:46 PM) cprofitt: the show is free and having a FOSS contingent would be great
(08:21:54 PM) cprofitt: deejoe, it is promising...
(08:22:14 PM) deejoe: I have some business to bring up, just noticed it this evening.
(08:22:49 PM) deejoe: On https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-newyork there is a link for the mailing list archive.
(08:23:00 PM) ausimage: yeah
(08:23:08 PM) deejoe: But it's b0rked https://lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-newyork/
(08:23:21 PM) cprofitt: good catch deejoe

(08:23:30 PM) cprofitt: that is our real one
(08:23:31 PM) deejoe: did someone set us up the bomb
(08:23:48 PM) ausimage: oh... I think I may have put in for the launchpad mailing list feature...
(08:24:25 PM) deejoe: hmm.
(08:24:31 PM) ***ausimage will look at clarifying that
(08:25:07 PM) deejoe: anyway, since several group lists are not public (lugor, ifsa) it robs us of some significant google juice
(08:25:21 PM) cprofitt: yeah...
(08:25:31 PM) ausimage: ahhh...
(08:26:03 PM) ***cprofitt has another topic that deejoe just tickled
(08:26:10 PM) deejoe: o.O
(08:26:57 PM) cprofitt: For the Rochester area folks Lugor has planet Lugor and it would do us good to add our blogs to that...
(08:27:16 PM) cprofitt: and for the Syracuse folks please check if SYRLUG has such a setup too...
(08:27:20 PM) ***deejoe needs to get a blog set up
(08:27:22 PM) cprofitt: it again will help us
(08:27:29 PM) deejoe: good call, cprofitt
(08:27:41 PM) cprofitt: at the same time it will help them
(08:27:48 PM) ***cprofitt nods to deejoe 
(08:28:13 PM) ausimage: if you have a blog I can add it to our aggregator as well ;)
(08:28:56 PM) ausimage: cprofitt: you cover everything?
(08:29:10 PM) deejoe: cprofitt: can planet include only things that carry a certain tag?
(08:29:12 PM) cprofitt: all the NY LoCo stuff yeah
(08:29:17 PM) cprofitt: I got other things...
(08:29:27 PM) cprofitt: deejoe, not sure on the Lugor planet... i will have to check
(08:30:24 PM) ausimage: is that not a feature of the blogger's site?
(08:30:31 PM) cprofitt: I have other news that involves me... but not sure that applies here
(08:30:38 PM) cprofitt: ausimage, not sure...
(08:30:38 PM) ausimage: ie generating feeds based on tags?
(08:30:53 PM) cprofitt: you might be able to gen a feed with just one tag
(08:31:05 PM) cprofitt: aggregators have the ability to only catch categories too
(08:31:05 PM) ausimage: does it affect your abilities to perfom your job?
(08:31:12 PM) deejoe: so, should we adjourn?
(08:31:14 PM) cprofitt: so it bears research on both ends
(08:31:29 PM) cprofitt: ausimage, no... my dance card is not quite full yet
(08:31:51 PM) cprofitt: I became, as I think everyone knows, the lead contact for Lugor...
(08:32:00 PM) cprofitt: and I will be doing some development for the XO
(08:32:07 PM) ausimage: cool
(08:32:23 PM) cprofitt: yeah...
(08:32:24 PM) ausimage: it enhances your abilities then ;)
(08:32:25 PM) cprofitt: fun too
(08:32:43 PM) ausimage: k.... anything else....
(08:32:46 PM) cprofitt: you make it sounds like those pills the emails advertise
(08:32:51 PM) deejoe: heh
(08:32:57 PM) ausimage: :P
(08:33:10 PM) deejoe: going once . . .
(08:33:13 PM) ausimage: my bad :-$
